Banshee recalls a golden era
As friend and confidante of the tragic Sid Vicious and drummer in the definitive line-up of Siouxsie and The Banshees, he had a ringside seat to one of the most exciting times in 20th century youth culture.
Now an artist based in Cork City, he revisits the period in a new exhibition that opens on Culture Night. The Modern Raze is a selection of artwork, painting, and videos, much of it inspired by Morris’ experiences in the ’70s punk movement — an anti-authoritarian uprising that scandalised the establishment and saw its lead exponents demonised in the press.
